just call


Yii::$app->cache->flush()

here look at this if you need more info

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-caching-cache.html#flush()-detail

use key you have used to create it

if


\Yii::$app->cache->set('zzz', 'asd');

then

\Yii::$app->cache->delete(‘zzz’);

or


\Yii::$app->cache->delete($prefix.'zzz');

if with prefix

also there’s one key used by app itself with md5 hash as key (i didn’t check what the hash is)

if you use apcu, you can verify if anything is generated with random


var_dump(apc_cache_info ('user')['cache_list']);

if use filesystem - delete file?

ok I Found the answer here

all you need is to setup the frontCache as component like below




'components' => [

    'cacheFrontend' => [

        'class' => 'yii\caching\FileCache',

        'cachePath' => Yii::getAlias('@frontend') . '/runtime/cache'

    ],

],

and use the code below to flush the cache


Yii::$app->cacheFrontend->flush()
